Chapter 53 She Would Wait before She Fought Back
"We've been all running shops here for so many years. Everyone knows what kind of person Teresa is. It's false news on the Internet."
Teresa didn't explain too much. Gwendolyn didn't want others to misunderstand her friend and tried her best to explain it.
She told how the Heller family had treated Teresa and her sister in the first place.
After Astra fell ill, the Heller family asked Teresa to pay for all medical expenses and reimburse his cousins' round-trip fares, fuel costs, and so on.
They knew what Teresa was like. Even other bookstore owners who were her business rivals thought that Teresa was not a filial person. Hearing Gwendolyn's explanation, they were all furious and said they were going to explain to others online.
They couldn't sit by and watch the Heller family get their way. They had never seen anyone as shameless as the Heller family. They were bullying Teresa and her sister.
Seeing Hubert coming, Gwendolyn nudged Teresa who was writing something. After this incident, Teresa did not turn off her phone, nor did she change her phone number. But she only answered calls from familiar people, and never from unfamiliar numbers.
Those netizens privately messaged her and sent her many text messages to lecture her, but she never read them. She was calm, writing strategies to fight back on paper.
"Teresa, look who is here." Gwendolyn instantly liked Hubert more. Hubert came over when her friend had a problem.
Even in a flash marriage, he was a responsible husband.
Teresa looked up and saw that Hubert came in. Soon, he was standing at her desk. Gwendolyn quickly left to give them some privacy.
Hubert first examined Teresa's state. Seeing that she was calm, he felt relieved. Looking at the piece of paper on the cashier's counter, he picked it up and read it. After reading it, he looked at her again with a touch of admiration.
"Why did you come here?" Teresa asked.
To be honest, Teresa's heart was warmed when she saw Hubert walk in.
He had told her that he would be always by her side. He did. As soon as something happened to her, he came over immediately.
"I was worried about you. So I came." Hubert said in a low voice, "I'm relieved to see that you are in good shape."
"Are you on leave? Will it affect your bonus?" Teresa was still worried about Hubert's bonus.
He worked in a large group, and the bonus must be very high. Teresa would feel guilty that it affected his work.
Hubert said lightly, "I have worked in the company for many years, and I am a leader. I am relatively free during work. You don't have to worry about my work. No matter how much the bonus is, it's not important. I'm happy as long as you are fine."
"Come on, I'll accompany you back to your hometown."
After a moment of silence, Teresa agreed. She walked out of the cashier and said to her friend, "Gwendolyn, I'll go out for a while, and I'll leave the store to you. When Leila comes over, you help me comfort her. I will handle this matter and tell her not to worry."
"Okay," Gwendolyn said and watched her go out with Hubert.
Sitting in Hubert's car, Teresa asked Hubert, "Hubert, do you know any friends in the media industry?"
"Yes, do you need their help?"
Teresa said, "I'm going back to my hometown to take pictures of my uncles' houses. It would be even more powerful if a third party witnessed it. I just don't know what my uncles and cousins are doing right now."
Her grandparents now lived in the house that her parents had built. She was going to take pictures of the living conditions of her grandparents too. It was always necessary to refute it bit by bit, and it must be supported by evidence.
As for how netizens were scolding her and talking about her, she didn't care. She would wait before she fought back.
Now those paid trolls were encouraging other netizens to scold her and her sister. When things turned around, the netizens who would feel that they had been exploited would be even angrier and turn to scold the Heller family.
Whatever they were doing to her now, she would get back at them.
"I will ask my friends to help you investigate the work and income of your cousins. After you take pictures of their housing situation and go back to the city, you can write about what happened back to them. If your writing is not good enough, I can find someone to ghostwrite for you and you can just dictate."
"Thank you, I don't need anyone else to ghostwrite for me, and I don't need to write a post. Leila has the habit of writing a diary. She wrote everything that happened in her diary, and she still keeps the diary. So I will take pictures of Leila's diary and put them on the Internet to let everyone know what happened."
"And the agreement that my grandparents signed with us when they split the compensation money for my parents was in triplicate. The village committee has one copy, my sister and I have one copy, and they have one. I will also post a copy of the agreement online."
"People will know who is right and who is wrong." Teresa didn't panic at all.
"The village committee's copy will be more convincing if the village committee is willing to help you post it online."
"Leila and I have been away from the village for a long time, and we don't live there. They won't help us. My grandfather said that my second cousin earns a million a year, and he is doing very well. The village is one big family. The village committee will help them."
Hubert drove on in silence. He knew that what Teresa said was true.
"Leila's diary and the agreement in our hands will be enough."
Hubert didn't speak. He decided to stop the car when they arrived at the service area, and then find an opportunity to call Morgan and ask Morgan to help him handle this matter. He would guarantee that the elderly in the village and those in the know would all speak up for Teresa.
With Morgan's abilities, even if he didn't show up, he could do it. Morgan was speechless.
He decided to ask Morgan for help because he was more aware of the sinister nature of people's hearts than Teresa. With only Teresa's evidence, it would be easy to fail. As long as the Heller family denied the authenticity of the agreement, the sisters would not get away with it so easily.
Only by letting those in the know speak up for Teresa and her sister and prove that it was the Heller family who had failed the sisters, the sisters could completely turn it around and defeat them.
As for the several media people that Oliver had used, he also asked Morgan to find someone to block them!
If anyone dared to hurt Hubert's woman, it was a slap in Hubert's face. He certainly was going to teach those who called white black a good lesson.
"Hubert, thank you." Teresa didn't know that he had become angry and wanted to block them all. She was sincerely grateful that Hubert could come to accompany her at this time and be on the same front as her.
Hubert said in a deep voice, "We are husband and wife. We're a team."
